This intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code F00ZHZZ

UNSPSC 85902969 Bedside swallowing and oral function assessment is a Commodity code that captures clinical evaluation and diagnostic services for swallowing and oral motor function, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal directly relevant opportunities. The few posted opportunities in the dataset are tagged to this code but address substantially different clinical services — occupational health screening, EMS billing administration, employee wellness platforms, cancer screening, and inmate healthcare — rather than bedside swallowing assessments or speech-language pathology evaluation. Seminole County, Florida's recent RFP for a Medical Director to oversee its emergency medical services system, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for radiology and EKG read services across state hospitals and supported living centers, and the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice for inmate professional health services at the detention center reflect clinical leadership and diagnostic imaging roles that do not align with the nominal scope of bedside swallowing and oral function assessment as traditionally defined in clinical practice.

The code shows activity across multiple states including Florida, Texas, Georgia, California, Oregon, and Washington, but the recent opportunities tagged to it represent a fragmented mix of health services procurement at county health departments, state agencies, school districts, and municipal detention facilities rather than a concentrated body of work in swallowing and oral function assessment. No representative recent solicitation directly names bedside swallowing assessment, speech-language pathology consultation, or dysphagia evaluation as the primary deliverable. State and local buyers appear to use this code infrequently or inconsistently for clinical assessment work, and prospective vendors targeting this Commodity code should verify alignment with actual procurement needs at the issuing body before pursuing opportunities bearing this classification.
